Honeymooners

For our honeymoon we went to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. It was absolutely beautiful! In the meeting and events industry I had heard that DR was a new hot spot and we for sure didn't want to go to Mexico. So we tossed around the idea of Jamaica, Aruba, etc. So we landed on Dominican Republic since neither one of us had ever been there. It was a great decision. I was lucky enough to win 2 American Airline vouchers during one of my Meeting Professionals International meetings. It's an organization that I'm in and I completed a survey after one meeting and won 2 flight vouchers. That was such a blessing, we were able to use them towards our trip. So with that said, we were limited on the flights that we could take so we had a couple of long travel days. We woke up early on Sunday morning after the wedding and headed straight for the airport. We flew to Miami and had like a 7 hour layover. So we got out of the airport and spent the day in Miami. Then we finally got to our resort in DR late on Sunday night. Upon our arrival we were unexpectedly upgraded to VIP level and into a Presidential suite. The room was FABULOUS! It was like a small apartment! Thanks to some of my colleagues - YOU ROCK! We went with no plans at all. We wanted to wait and see what we felt like doing when we got there. So to be honest we didn't do a thing!! We ate, read, and relaxed by the pool and on the beach. It was the BEST! I'm not a big fan of the ocean. I think I'm more afraid of the water than I sometimes admit. But little kid, Mark got me out in the ocean to play in the waves. So he was holding me up when a big wave came out of nowhere and knocked us both down. In the middle of all that I hit my toe either against Mark or on the bottom of the ocean floor. I swear I broke it! I could not walk for over a week and still cannot completely wear heels comfortably. It hurt so bad and I got no sympathy from my new husband whatsoever. So on Thursday we went on a safari. We got to see the way of life in the Dominican. It was a fun experience. We were going to go snorkeling but I didn't think I could put my foot into one of those fins. So we spent our last day at the pool, of course. Again, we had the best time doing nothing and just being together. Needless to say it was very hard going back to work and getting into a routine.
